Hi again. I am trying to get the text of the selection in a list box and put into a variable, which is put into a label. i.e., whatever is selected will show in the label.
However, because at the beginning there is nothing in the listbox (and therefore no selection), the tuple returned by curselection() is (), therefore when i try and get() from the linenumber in this tuple, the index is "out of range" here is the section of the program: box = Listbox(root, bg = '#ebe9ed', relief = 'groove', height = 15) box.grid(row = 2, columnspan = 2, sticky = W+E, padx = 3) box.bind("<Double-Button-1>", DeleteCurrent) v = StringVar() number = box.curselection() v.set = (box.get(int(number[0]))) print number current = Label(root, textvariable = v) current.grid(row = 3, columnspan = 2, sticky = W+E, padx = 3) and here is the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\My Documents\My Python\Notes.py", line 27, in <module> v.set = (box.get(int(number[0]))) IndexError: tuple index out of range How can i get it to only take the variable when i have selected something, or any other solution!
